炳andSmit Barmase 628bb8f0ff linux: Name desktop file correctly during bundle (#45508)
Closes #45507

There have been 5+ PRs attempting to fix Linux desktop icon association
by adding `StartupWMClass` back to the `.desktop.in` template (#15763,
#20644, #23459, #33019, #37962), all closed because `StartupWMClass` is
an X11-specific key that GNOME happens to misuse on Wayland, and the
correct fix per the FreeDesktop spec is to name the `.desktop` file to
match the app's Wayland `app_id` / X11 `WM_CLASS`. Refer:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12707#issuecomment-2168742761

The root cause is that `bundle-linux` was never updated to produce the
correct filename in the tarball. The only consumers of the tarball's
desktop file are `install.sh` and manual extractors. So this fix is for
people who download the tarball and extract it without `install.sh`. The
docs already tell them to rename, but as @wcbing points out, not
everyone reads that carefully.

We are now making `bundle-linux` produce the correctly named desktop
file from the start.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
